Red is IN (none of this blue and silver at Chrismas) .I would definitely try the Christmas Pudding tea, (did you ?) just because is Christmas .In Australia I am looking forward to Christmas pudding icecream from a local icecream shop

I so love your red posts. Indeed I love red now because you taught me how wonderful it was. You paint reds so pretty too. Such sumptuous christmas windows and lights you have for us today. Oh, Hediard pate des fruits, they are so fabulous. I like that Fauchon window best I think.

Some day I would love to hear your thoughts about the NY to Paris move and whether or how being in Paris full-time has affected your blog/painting/observations. Is life more serendipitous things and are you able to follow less-traveled roads?

It's definitely more relaxed living in Paris than trying to cram everything into a 2 week jaunt and then collapse back home.Still living in Paris there are bills to be paid, post office to pick up stuff, dinner to be cooked, just LOADES of the daily chores that are not so much fun. Plus the old bad habits of procrastination kick in since you're not living on a deadline ("I must do such and such Before I leave") bla bla.But there is SO much more to do here and it is way more fun in general even if I can afford just about zip. When you're a tourist you THROW €€€s around uninhibited.No so living here EVER.Some days I tell myself Today I'm going to pretend I'm a tourist...haha

Your watercolor is a beauty. I completely agree with you about loving to paint with red. (Not just The Town!)

However, what you continue to show us of Parisian holiday lights and style is so filled with elegance. Best Thanksgiving wishes to you and to that pie baking. Over here it's still "up in the air" whether the Macy's balloons will be allowed to rise and shine tomorrow morning...wind alert in full force now.

Jeepers...how many cliches have I just typed into this little box. Forgive me, s'il vous plait.
